Apple plans to release MacBook Airs with M4 chips in early 2025, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports. The company just refreshed the lineup with M3 chips this spring, but the M4 update will “likely” launch between January and March 2025, Gurman says. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch models will apparently get the M4 update, and they’ll have a similar design to the M2 MacBook Air.

The potential spring launch for M4-equipped MacBook Airs means that product line won’t be part Apple’s rumored announcements for next week. With those updates, Apple is going to reveal new MacBook Pros, Mac Minis, and iMacs, Gurman says.

If you’re waiting for a new Mac Studio, though, don’t expect that imminently. The Mac Studio is currently powered by the M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips, but an M4-equipped version is now likely to arrive “after a March software release,” meaning it could happen sometime between March and June, Gurman says. Apple is also apparently working on an M4 Mac Pro, Gurman didn’t give a timeline for when that might come out.

In the spring, Gurman reports that Apple is also aiming to reveal a new iPhone SE, new iPad Airs, “upgraded” iPad keyboards, and new entry-level iPads. The company just released a seventh-generation iPad Mini and is set to launch the first phase of Apple Intelligence features next week.
